Has it really been three months since my last post? Where did the time go?
Well there are several reasons for not posting anything to the blog, chief of which is a little Web site called Facebook. I took some cheap advice and created a fan page for the official company name - The Bombshell Bakery. I've been holding the name close to the vest for a couple years but here it is, officially.
The fan page went up, I posted a few messages and WHOA. I'm now pushing close to 600 fans in less than 90 days. It's overwhelming. I have more orders than I know what to do with! Speaking of which, I am currently on break from the 5 cakes I've got in progress... damn. It's after 2 a.m.
The site built my confidence quickly but the business is now starting to get away from me. My Web site still isn't up even though I paid someone more than a month ago to get it done and he has yet to go live. I've seen the site and it looks good though I know he was making a few changes. That site is super important. Once it's up, then I can really take this to the next level.
One issue I am having is volume. I once posted that high volume was better than high prices. I lied. I can't possibly get all of this done by myself! I'm crazy! I don't believe that I am under priced but I think I may have to have a minimum number of servings in order to shave off the "I just need a little cake" comments that end up being these giant creations. Unfortunately this weekend is nothing but big orders.
I'll go back to work in a sec but I thought it best to mention that some really great things have been happening to this lil bombshell and her bakery! I will post more in a few days but for now I have to get back to work!
Aloha. :)
